    Advice for Non-analytical Naturalists
    with J. L. Dowell
    In Simon Kirchin (ed.), Reading Parfit: On What Matters, Routledge. pp. 153-171. 2017.
    We argue that Parfit's "Triviality Objection" against some naturalistic views of normativity is not compelling. We think that once one accepts, as one should, that identity statements can be informative in virtue of their pragmatics and not only in virtue of their semantics, Parfit's case against naturalism can be overcome.
